I shut the door behind me, with out looking up to notice Kaze and Kazu charging at me "KUMI!!" I look up from the floor and quickly step to the side, causing them to crash into the floor "What do you want?" they smile "Don't you have a game to go to?" I nod heading towards my room "Yes, I just need to grab my bags" they tilt their heads to the side "Why do you need bags?" I sigh "Because if we don't win by ten points, we have to go to America" they jump up "WHAT!?" Kaze and Kazu runs off. I shrug my shoulders as I head up to my room. I grab my 3 bags: 2 for clothes and 1 for electronics and entertainment. I start walking down to see all four of my brothers standing at the end of the stairs "Hey guys, I gotta go, so see ya" Ryuichi grabs the back of my shirt "No what's this I hear about if you guys don't win by 10 points you have to leave Japan?" I sigh "Okay Hiruma made a big deal over Apollo not wanting to play us, so he made a video that pissed Apollo off, who made this huge statement about if they don't win by 10 points they won't step on American soil again. Then Hiruma had to make a big deal and say that if we don't win, we'll leave Japan to America the same day" Ryuichi nods "Your not going to the game" I stare wide eyed "WHAT!, but why?" Yoshiro sighs "Because we have to watch over you and we are in charge and we say no" I grunt "Fine but I hate you guys" I sit on the couch and sigh. Kaze and Kazu sits next to me making me in between them. Kaze hits my shoulder "C'mon Kumi its alright, lets watch some tv" I lean back into the couch "I don't care" he turns on the Aliens vs. Devil Bats. I bolt up, now sitting at the edge of the couch. As I'm watching the game unfold before me "C'mon guy I need to go they need me!" Ryuichi shakes his head "No Takumi" I grunt "Damn it why?!" He stands up "Because you are not leaving, and that's final!" all 4 of them leave. Allowing me to sit and watch them game in shame 'I feel lower than dirt right now'
~~~~ With the Team in normal Pov ~~~~
"Where the hell is that fucking zero?!" Hiruma seethed, Sena and Monta are wondering also "Taku-san wouldn't chicken out, would he?" Sena shakes his head "No he wouldn't I'm sure he has a good reason" Kurita has tears in his eyes "I hope Taku-san is okay" Hiruma growls "Who cares we have to win if you all want to stay in Japan" they nod in agreement. Hiruma looks over at the Americans to see they put Panther in the game.
~~~~ Back at the Ootani Resident ~~~~
I stare as I see Panther on the field 'Fuck this I am going to the game' I run up to the twins room "C'mon they have to have some rope in here somewhere" I look under the bed and see the rope "Yes!" I walk down stairs quietly figuring that my brothers are in the dinning room table either talking or eating. I peek through the doorway 'Perfect they don't even know I'm here' I quickly dash threw the room tying the chairs together in a circle then tying them. "What the hell, Takumi?" I smirk "I'm going to the game and if we lose I am going to America" I walk into the kitchen and grab a steak knife, I place it in the middle of the table which is like 8ft away from them "Have fun guys" I run into the living room grabbing my bags an dash out the door "TAKUMI GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!" I smirk as I run into the garage and grab Yoshiro's motorcycle. I rev it up going as fast as I could to make it to the stadium.
~~~~ At The Stadium ~~~~
I run into the bathrooms get changed into my uniform, I dash out to the field. I tap Mamori on the shoulder "Hey Mamori" she jumps "Taku-san I thought you weren't going to make it" I rub my neck "I know I'm sorry, I feel lower than dirt, you all can beat me up later but I'm here now" I look out onto the field 'Only two minutes left' I sigh as I see a lot of the team on the floor panting. "Look Taku-san!" I turn to see the team walking towards me. I look at Hiruma to see him seething "Where the hell were you, fucking zero?" I grunt "Being held at home by my brothers, just you guys can beat me up later but right now let me play I think I can stop Panther" Hiruma growls "Fine, Ishimaru your out" I smile at Ishimaru "Take a break" he smiles back and nods collapsing on the bench. I walk out hearing the announcer yelling "OHH! It looks like the devil bats has brought out the upcoming DareDevil 00! Who was one of the main line defense against the Taiyou Sphinx!" I roll my eyes "shut up" I get in Ishimaru's position. Sena rushes with the ball I follow Sena seeing Panther coming up close to the right 'Time for me to make up being late' I bolt forward tackling Panther, but Sena soon got tackled about 1 yard away. The announcer starts freaking out "Panther finally has been stopped! Panther like the black cat of the jungle, and DareDevil 00 is like the deadly hunter!" I shake my head as I get up, I hold my hand down to help Panther up, he smiles and grabs my hand. I walk back to the others and smile, walking up to Sena "Sorry I didn't see the other guy" Sena smiles "Its okay" I ruffle his hair "Sena you can stop him" I get into position, Hiruma throws a great pass at Monta but it gets intercepted by Panther. I growl as I see the majority of the team on the ground panting, I see Sena dashing behind Panther. I run up close to them to see some of the Aliens go to tackle Sena, I smirk and push them hard enough for them to hit the floor. Sena pushes the ball up out of Panther's hand and grabbed the ball and dash back to the end zone. Sena dashes through the line using his 4.2 dash getting a touchdown. I smile "Go Eyeshield!" as I run down to the end zone I hear Hiruma shout "YA----HA!" I look down at Sena, who is panting with a smile on his face, Hiruma smirks and puts a hands on his hips "Alright you little shrimp! Use that devil's bat attack to win the game" I nod, I look down at Sena to see him faint "Ah Eyeshield" I pick Sena up and walk him over to the side lines. Mamori rushes over and is about to take his helmet off, I smack her hand "He said just leave the helmet on" she nods reluctantly. We go back out to try and make a two point touchdown but it doesn't work. We walk back some pissed, some disappointed. I see Sena literally jump up and off the stretcher, he runs up to me "The Match has ended?" I nod "We lost by 1 point" he looks down "Oh" we hear Monta hitting the floor "DAMN! DAMN IT!" Sena walks over to Monta "Its not over yet!" I nod "You two made a agreement to Musashi that as long as we became a strong team he would come back" Monta gets a huge smile on his face "That's right!" I kinda tune everyone out, I laugh when I hear the other talking about training completely forgetting about the whole leaving to America thing. The Aliens walk up with Panther holding out his hand "Nice Game, you got me in the last play" Hiruma walks up with total bull translation "You all are rubbish! Remember if you guys wanna live this life longer you have to train till death that's what they meant" I push him on the shoulder "That's a lie" I smirk "He said nice game, you got me in the last play" Sena smiles and shakes Panthers hand. Panther starts talking again "Actually today's game was to my favor" Homer pushes down on Panthers head "Cause Panther came into the game on half time, he was still full of energy" Panther smiles and looks down at Sena "Next time we will fight equally and I will defeat you!" Hiruma starts cackling "Sorry to spoil your good mood! But you must make good your promise!" I slap my forehead "Great time for the announcement" Sena sighs and nods in agreement, I look at him "You packed just incase right?" he shook his head "No" I sigh "I'll give you ride to your house to pack okay?" he nods "Thanks Taku" I wave it off "Think of it as payment to you for being late" Hiruma pulls out the Aliens passports out of no where and also a shredder "NOOOOOO!" the whole Alien team yells. I laugh a little at the looks on their faces. Apollo walks up, pointing at Hiruma "What about you guys? Aren't you supposed to leave Japan?" I shake my head walking up to Hiruma "Hey I'm taking Sena to go pack" He grabs me by the shoulder "We're leaving tomorrow morning" I nod "Great" 'I get to go back to my house' I walk over to Sena "You have tonight to pack" he nods, Monta runs up to me and punches me in the arm "That's what you get for being late" I nod "Okay that's my punishment from Monta" I walk over to the bench but I'm spun around by Panther "You got me with that tackle" I smile taking my helmet off. They freak out "Your from the sushi time at the Temple!" I nod "Yeah, I'm also the one to find Panther and Sena in the zoo" Panther blushes "Don't tell the others" I nod "Sure, see ya Panther, can't wait to play you again" he smiles, patting me on the back "Okay see ya then" I wave over my shoulder at him. Sena run over to me out of his Eyeshield costume "Taku-san I think I left my duffle bag at your house" the others over hear, my eyes get wide, Sena looks down on the ground "They heard didn't they?" I nod "Yep" Hiruma stalks over to us "What did you say pipsqueak?" Sena gulps, I put a hand on is shoulder "Just tell them" Sena exhales "Well Taku has been training me on how to be a better running back" Monta gets mad, getting in my face "You said you can't train me but you can train Sena?!" I lean away from him "Because my main position is running back, Monta you could beat me in a receivingyour just need more practice" Monta looks me dead in the face "Alright Taku-san" I head to the parking lot "C'mon Sena" he nods and follows "The Devil Bats are staying at Taku's house!" I turn around "What? You've got to be kidding me" Hiruma smirks "Punishment for being late, we'll meet at Deimon High" I nod "Fine" I go and grab my bags, and start heading towards Yohiro's motorcycle.
~~~~ At Deimon High ~~~~
Taku was sitting on Yoshiro's motorcycle waiting for team to get there. Taku sighs "Where the hell are they?" Taku grunts and turns off the engine to the bike, she gets off and leans against the fence "Ah Taku-san!" Taku looks out on the road to see a bus Hiruma sticks his head out the window "Fucking Zero lead the way" Taku nods and hops on the motorcycle, Monta peeks his head out the window "Taku-san can ride with you?" Taku looks back and nods "Sure Monta" Monta hops out of the window and gets on the back seat of the motorcycle, Taku hands him the helmet "You gotta wear this" he nods and puts it on. Taku revs up the engine "Don't get lost!" she yells at the bus and zooms off.
~~~~ Ootani Residents ~~~~
We make our way up the street that my house was located on. I pull into the drive way, heading towards the garage. "Whoa!" I smirk as I hear Monta "Big huh?" the others pull up slowly "There is no way that this is your house" Hiruma walks up writing something in his black book. I shake my head "Yeah I brought you all to a fake house" I start walking up to the door, but stop once I reached it "Crap I forgot about my brothers…Okay you guys wait out here till I calm them down" Hiruma raises a eyebrow "Why would you need to talk them down, fucking zero?" I chuckle "Because I tied them up and left them while I went to the game" Hiruma starts laughing "Fucking Zero has guts" I chuckle "I guess now just wait here" I slowly walk in and jump when I hear Ryuichi's voice "Takumi" I gulp "Yeah" "Come here" I make my way into the dinning room "Hey guys" they look at me "Untie us or cut us loose" I nod reaching for the knife and cut them free. They look down at me "Takumi, what you did was…." I nod "I know I know wrong and disrespectful" the twins smile "No it was actually pretty cool and smart, we taught you well young one" I laugh "Wow, you guys aren't mad?" they shake their heads "No we had time to think it over and you should do what ever your team needs and does" I smile and hug them "Yes we know said team is outside the front door" I smirk "Remember I'm Taku and I'm cooking" they nod and push the chairs back where they belonged. I walk to the door, opening it "C'mon their calmed down" they slowly walk in "Holy crap its huge!" I chuckle "I guess" Kaze and Kazu jump over the couch "Hello we are Kaze and Kazu" they stare, I roll my eyes I point to the one on the left "That's Kaze" I point to the one on the right "And that's Kazu" they shake hands "Hey Taku shouldn't you give them a tour?" I smirk "Shouldn't I start cooking?" Yoshiro gets up "Yes Taku, go start, I'll give them a tour" I nod and walk into the kitchen.
~~~~ Yoshiro's Pov ~~~~
I smirk looking over the team that my sister is on, they really can't tell Taku is a girl? that's really sad. "Follow me, I'll give you all a tour" they follow me into the living room "Whoa! Its two story's?" I nod "Yes our father designed it so his team could have the bottom while we could have the upper" Sena is the only one not looking around "Sena you've seen the majority of the house already" Sena nods. I chuckle leading them towards a hallway "This is the game room" I lead them in to hear most of them stare in amazement except for the blonde, whom I guessed was this Hiruma Takumi talked about, "Alright on to the gym" I lead them to the gym, soon leaving showing them the rest of the house except for Takumi's bedroom. I lead them back to the dinning room to see the table covered in food.
~~~~ Normal Pov ~~~~
Taku sighed as she set the rest of the food on the table, Ryuichi walked behind her "You think all of this is necessary?" Taku nods "Yes trust me you haven't seen them eat" he shrugs "Whatever, just be careful tomorrow, okay?" Taku smiles "I will" she brings her hand up to her lip to whistle but stopped when she saw Yoshiro lead the others into the dinning room. Taku smirks "Dig in" which they promptly do. Taku eat till she full and brings her finger to her nose, putting it on top of her nose, Hiruma noticed, doing it also, soon the whole table does it except for Kaze and Kazu "AH! Damn it!" Taku starts laughing "Haha guys you have to do dish duty" they grumble and get up collecting the dishes. Taku laughs getting up "Okay guys I'll take you to the guest rooms" they follow Taku up the stairs "Eh Taku-san why do you have such a big house?" Taku was about to answer but was interrupted by Hiruma "His father is a NFL coach for the number one team in the NFL for five years" Taku smirks as she hears gasp "Yep the Colorado Immortals" Yukimitsu gasp "The Immortals, coached by Mazaki Ootani, is the number one team in the NFL right now winning 5 Super Bowls?" Taku nods "Yeah that's my dad alright, if you ever meet him just call him coach" Taku leads them to one of the guest room "There's 3 guest rooms so you guys will have to share" she pushes open the door to show: 1 king size bed, a closet two bedside tables with lamps on it, a desk and chair, and a cabinet with a TV and a DVD player in it. "Well I'm going to take a shower so have fun dividing the rooms" Taku walks down into her room, locking the door behind her, walking into her personal bathroom. She sighs at the water rains down on her, she reaches for her shampoo lathering it into her hair, sighing as she steps under the spray from the shower head. "Mm feels go to finally take those freaking bandages off and relax" after rinsing all of the shampoo out of her hair she then works in the conditioner, she leans over to grab her body wash. Lathering a washcloth with the body wash she works on her body as she lets the conditioner sit. Taku stands getting under the spray rinsing her of the conditioner and the body wash. She steps out drying herself off, she grabs some bandages from the drawers and raps it around her chest.
~~~~ Taku's Pov ~~~~
I sigh looking at myself in the mirror, I'm wearing one of my brothers shirts and pants 'Just when I thought I would sleep with out the bandages' I walk outside to see the team fighting over the last guest room "What the hell are you all doing?" they snap their heads towards me "Hiruma stole one for himself and Mamori took the other by herself" I sigh rubbing my temples "Well I can hold about 2 people in my room not counting me" Sena and Monta dash towards me "We got Taku's room!" they say simultaneously, the others huff and finally make their way into the room. Hiruma walks out of the one he claimed as his "Hey fucking zero, where's a bathroom?" I smirk "4th door on the left" he nods and stalks off, I lead Sena and Monta to my room "So guys you ready for tomorrow?" they shake their heads "Now why is that?" Sena sighs "I'm a little nervous about leaving Japan" I laugh "Sena its fine, America's a nice place but don't get lost" Monta tilts his heads to the right "Why is that?" I smirk "Because they can't speak Japanese unless you find someone like Watt" they both gulp. "I forgot about that" I smile as I open the door to my room. I point them to the couch "The couch pulls out into a full sized bed so you two can sleep there" they nod and pull the bed out, I smile "Good night guys" they nod and cuddle deeper into the bed "Night Taku-san" I shake my head and turn the lights off.
~~~~ At the Airport ~~~~
I was wearing a blue shirt, blue, black, white, and gray shorts, with a billabong belt, blue, white, and black tennis shoes, a blue and white hat, wearing a dog tag necklace. We walk through looking for our gate "Dear God it shouldn't take us this long to find the freaking gate" Hiruma smirks "We're heading the right way" I shrug following Hiruma to the gate handing the ticket to the lady behind the counter "Have a nice flight" I nod and walk in looking at the seats "Hm such a hard place to find a seat huh?" since no one wants to sit next to Hiruma I have to. I sit there staring at nothing, I snap out of it when I see Hiruma pick up Cerberus and sit it next to Sena. I roll my eyes at Hiruma's plan to get Cerberus on the plane. I laugh as I see Cerberus try and bite Sena "Sena calm down it's a stuffed animal, it ain't gonna bite" Sena half-heartedly glares at me "Hey your sitting next to a dog, I'm sitting next to Satan, if you wanna switch I'm okay with that" Sena shakes his head "That's what I thought" it goes quiet for about 5 minutes until we hear banging coming from the bathroom "I HATE AIRPLANES!" I walk up to Juumonji and hit him on the head "Calm down and sit down, here" I hand him my I-pod "It'll calm you down just focus on the music" he nods sitting next to the other 2 Huh-Huh brothers. I look around to see what everyone else is doing: Monta's staring out the window like a 5 year old, Yukimitsu is reading a book, Mamori was reading a cooking magazine, Kurita and Komusubi were eating, Juumonji was trying to focus on the music coming from my I-pod, Kuroki was sleeping, Togano was reading a manga, and Sena was sleeping. I pull out my laptop, plugging in my extra pair of headphones, and hit the power button, I was starting to type my password when we heard a scream then a "Sena!" from Mamori. Me and Hiruma look over to see Sena on the floor panting "Sena you okay?" he nods "Ah Mamori-neechan, I had this horrible dream, somehow, Hiruma-san said were leaving Japan and so all of us set off for the states, which is just totally" he looks up at me pointing to the window "IMPOSSIBLE!" I laugh "So impossible that we really are on said plane to America" I sit down next to Hiruma as the others crowd around the windows, except for Juumonji. I sigh and start typing away to check the statistics of my dads team, I scan to see if they've lost any 'Hm zero losses and 3 wins now they're on their fourth game in Washington' I turn off my laptop and slip it into my bag. I lean back trying to just relax the rest of the trip. The others are talking saying things like "The land is visible now!" "Were in America!!" and "The clouds are below us!" I laugh as I hear Hiruma "Getting excited after all, you fucking brats" I sigh and lean back into my chair when I hear Sena "Where are we staying tonight?" Hiruma smirks "No where!" I put my head in my hand "Why am I not surprised?" Hiruma just ignores me "We have no lodging money, so we'll just have to make some!" Sena looks depressed "What will become of this journey?" I sigh "Hiruma hand me your cell phone" Hiruma raises his eyebrow "Why should I, fucking zero?" I grunt "Because I might be able to get us a place to stay for tonight for free" he grunts and hands me his cell. I type in Rick Baxter's number.
*Phone conversation*
Rick: Hello?
Taku: Yo Rick it's Taku"
Rick: Wow kid haven't heard from ya in awhile how you doing?
Taku: Good are you guys in Texas or you guys away for a game?
Rick: We're in California, why?
Taku: Crap well me and my team needed a place to stay and I remember you lived in Texas so I thought we could stay at your place for tonight only
Rick *Laughs* Good plan but sucks for you cause were in Cali sorry I can't help ya there
Taku: *laughs* I know thanks talk to ya later Rick
Rick: See ya Takumi, tell your dad I said hello
*End of phone conversation*
I hand it back to Hiruma "Well there goes my idea" I sit back down and lay back and enjoy the rest of the ride.
